II. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT, PROBLEM/SOLUTION STATEMENT, AND GOALS AND

OBJECTIVES

A. Purpose of Agreement The purpose of this Agreement is to fund the Berkeley Energy Assurance Transformation (BEAT) project, which includes: (1) general project tasks including processing subcontracts and convening of a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC); (2) a case study compiling the regulatory, technical, and financial lessons learned of how to accelerate the deployment of Clean Energy Microgrid Communities (CEMCs) in urban areas; (3) a design for a pilot CEMC in Downtown Berkeley; (4) evaluation of the project’s benefits; and (5) packaging and dissemination of information to the public and key stakeholders.

B. Problem/ Solution Statement

Problem Meeting ambitious State and local Zero Net Energy (ZNE) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals and advancing energy reliability requires increased uptake of distributed energy resources (DERs), active and engaged energy management, and utilization of smart grid technology. To achieve multiple economic, environmental, and resilience benefits, a combination of clean

City of Berkeley


DERs, in concert with energy efficiency and demand response, can be operated within a microgrid to enable a facility to “island” from the main grid during periods of peak demand and when power supply is disrupted. Despite much of the State’s population living and working in urban centers, there are few viable or replicable microgrid demonstration projects in urban settings. This is in part because it is difficult for a given new or existing facility in an urban area, such as Downtown Berkeley, to incorporate the DERs and grid control improvements necessary to offset a building’s energy load. For example, buildings in downtowns often have shaded or little roof space relative to the overall square footage of the building. Additional challenges to operationalizing the microgrid models include local government permitting of relatively new technologies, high transaction costs for early adopters, state regulations that limit the ability of multiple entities to share on-site power, and the lack of a business model that attracts participation and investment. Solution New demonstration projects are needed that focus not only on individual facilities in isolation, but also on developing microgrids that connect multiple facilities into a Clean Energy Microgrid Community (CEMC). A CEMC would incorporate advanced energy efficiency technologies and be operated to aggregate and share clean energy resources across several facilities, including facilities whose function is critical in the event of a disaster. An effective CEMC would demonstrate the potential for a network of buildings to together transition toward ZNE while also improving energy reliability and community resilience. The BEAT project will develop an innovative, scalable, and replicable model for advancing energy reliability, increasing energy efficiency and sustainable water use, and improving access to clean energy for multiple facilities in a dense urban context. At the core of the BEAT project are clean energy microgrids. The Recipient will design a demonstration project in Downtown Berkeley that connects multiple facilities into a CEMC, the recipient’s strategy for developing Advanced Energy Communities. By advancing a collaborative multi-disciplinary approach and innovative technology solutions, this project will help establish a model for transitioning urban areas in California towards increased energy assurance and ZNE communities.

C. Goals and Objectives of the Agreement Agreement Goals The BEAT project will have two phases. Phase I, the subject of this agreement, will analyze and illustrate the regulatory, operational, financial, and technological feasibility of CEMCs and, based on that analysis, develop a case study and shovel-ready Downtown Berkeley CEMC Pilot Plan to be built in Phase II, not included within this agreement. The goals of the Berkeley BEAT Project in Phase I are to: • Develop a financially attractive, scalable, and replicable CEMC model and case study for

advancing energy reliability, increasing energy efficiency and sustainable water use, and improving access to clean energy for public and private facilities;

• Design a shovel-ready Downtown Berkeley CEMC Pilot Plan to be built in Phase II based on the CEMC model; and

• Develop a set of guidelines that will reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with planning, permitting, and financing multi-facility CEMCs throughout the State.

Ratepayer Benefits:2 This Agreement will result in a model for CEMCs in urban areas that will create ratepayer benefits including greater electricity reliability, lower costs, and increased safety. The designed approach for CEMCs will: (a) increase reliability by providing clean and reliable energy such as solar and batteries as a source of backup power to supplement or displace existing diesel generators; (b) increase safety through smart grid technologies that can monitor and manage real-time load and reduce congestion leading to reduced risks of infrastructure failure; and (c) reduce ratepayer costs associated with capital improvements for new grid and generation infrastructure and operating costs to maintain grid stability while realizing environmental benefits through clean generation, smart grid technologies including intelligent controls, demand management, and energy efficiency. Technological Advancement and Breakthroughs:3 This Agreement will support the development and commercialization of technological advancements to achieve the State of California’s statutory energy goals by advancing an innovative approach to clean and reliable distributed generation that will reduce grid congestion and provide back-up generation by connecting multiple facilities in an efficient and financially attractive way. This Agreement will also break through the regulatory barriers that hinder technological advancements such as CEMCs by providing recommendations for policy updates and a set of guidelines to streamline local permitting, planning, and financing pathways.

Agreement Objectives The objectives of this Agreement are to: • Conduct a local and State regulatory feasibility analysis to identify barriers and

recommended solutions to reduce risk and uncertainties with advancing CEMCs; • Develop guidelines charting a permitting and regulatory pathway for local governments to

develop CEMCs that advance energy reliability, clean energy, and energy and water efficiency under existing or emerging permitting and regulatory conditions;

• Conduct a technical analysis, including modeling of several prototype facilities, in order to identify specific, feasible design configurations of facilities that can aggregate energy resources and form a CEMC that achieves maximum societal and economic benefits;

• Identify financially attractive and feasible business model(s) to finance, procure, develop, and operate a CEMC system, including the design of customer care and engagement programs that support active acceptance and participation in microgrid offerings;

• Develop a regulatory plan, technical plan, business & financial model, procurement plan, and cost/benefit analysis that will ultimately become a Master Community Design of a Downtown Berkeley CEMC Pilot Project able to connect multiple facilities and scalable to include additional facilities;

• Engage multi-disciplinary stakeholders, including businesses, developers, regulatory agencies, institutions, and utilities in the above processes; and

• Disseminate the information to the public, local governments and other agencies in the Bay Area and throughout the State and nation.

2 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) requires projects funded by the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) to result in ratepayer benefits. The California Public Utilities Commission, which established the EPIC in 2011, defines ratepayer benefits as greater reliability, lower costs, and increased safety (See CPUC “Phase 2” Decision 12-05-037 at page 19, May 24, 2012, http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/WORD_PDF/FINAL_DECISION/167664.PDF). 3 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) also requires EPIC-funded projects to lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory and energy goals. 5/17/16 Page 3 of 22 EPC-15-065
